Anybody got any antibiotics?

Thanks guys!

"Out with your dead!" But, I'm not dead! I feel much better! Whack!"

The above from Monty Python!

"The answer is 42" Cute! But wrong!

The real answer is "maybe?"

Come on guys, are you even going to give me a chance?

My Gods, you are correct! How could I have forgotten it?

"In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (published in 1979), the characters visit the legendary planet Magrathea, home to the now-collapsed planet-building industry, and meet Slartibartfast, a planetary coastline designer who was responsible for the fjords of Norway. Through archival recordings, he relates the story of a race of hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings who built a computer named Deep Thought to calculate the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. When the answer was revealed to be 42, Deep Thought had predicted that another computer, more powerful than itself would be made and designed by it to calculate the question for the answer. (Later on, referencing this, Adams would create the 42 Puzzle, a puzzle which could be approached in multiple ways, all yielding the answer 42.)"

Seriously, I was way in front of the above, since I was born in 1946!

I was about age 30 when the above became popular, and recently married, for the first time!

But, "thanks for the memories?"

I suppose that the allegation that a Greek named Agesilaus, actually installed a "pharaoh" upon the throne of Egypt, is too much to handle?

That is quite a lot of power embodied within just one Greek general, is it not?

Maybe, it was because he represented the real "Ruler" of Egypt, and the next "Pharaoh" was merely a "satrap!" ruler?

Still no takers? The Persian period in Egyptian history is one of the least understood, or that is at least my opinion!

And, it actually seems that the rule of Egypt by native rulers, has been the exception, rather than the norm!

OK, OK! Since all of you demand it, here is the answer!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nectanebo_II

"Nectanebo II (ruled 360 - 343 BC), also known by the name Nakhthoreb, was the third and last king of the Thirtieth dynasty of Egypt and also the last native Egyptian ruler of the country in antiquity.

Nectanebo was placed on the Egyptian throne by the Spartan king Agesilaus II, who helped him overthrow Teos and fight off a rival pretender. After a reign of 17 years, he was defeated by the Persian king Artaxerxes III, and fled first to Memphis then into Upper Egypt, and finally into exile in Nubia, where he vanishes from history. With Nectanebo's flight, all organized resistance to the Persians collapsed, and Egypt once again was reduced to a satrapy of the Persian Empire."

I am glad that I could supply you the correct answer!

You know, it is stange to believe, but I have, it seems, become a "leader" of the history of this planet, that is disolved from the history of Iran/Iraq/Syria/Arabia/the Balkans, or Russia?

Becoming the "top dog" in discourses concerning the above places, mostly dominates this site! It seems that most posters have in the past and in the present, only used this place to denigrate other peoples and races, etc.!

Thus, my postings are mostly disregared or ignored, just to get one more lance into the loins of an opponent!

Please use some keyword I will recognize?

Dear unclefred! I am sorry but I did not entirely understand your above post. Are you suggesting that I played a part in doing something harmfull to our fellow poster "mosquito", that irrating, buzzing little insect?

Sorry that I did not, it seems, really understand your words, although most of your other postings are quite clear and well done.

Ron
